Why is mental health important for overall health?

Mental and physical health are equally important components of overall health.

For example, depression increases the risk for many types of physical health problems, particularly long-lasting conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

Similarly, the presence of chronic conditions can increase the risk for mental illness.

BWE is helping to get the information and support to the people who need it most.

We believe that education is the most important tool that can be utilized when supporting those who struggle with mental illness.
